venkie, i am also planning to sell on earnings day (with the portion of Dell holdings which I regard as trading money as opposed to the long term hold shares) but what if Dell beats the whisper number. Goes up and up? How do you deal with this? How do calls fit into this strategy, pardon the naive question. I've never done puts or calls, regardilng them as too risky. What is a covered call? words of wisdom for the day from warren buffet: time is the enemy of a poor company but time is the friend of a good one.
